Sheesh Ish, don't listen to that crapola. Exercise! Yeah-right-give-me-a-break. Caveman stuff. Pharmaceuticals, man. At least until we can genetically program us happy-happy-happy. I refer you back to... dysthymia.com It's funny but if you read further they actually present an interesting idea about the cause of our malaise. If I may paraphrase, it's essentially our caveman nature that causes now inappropriate neurological responses filling our heads with endorphins and what-not at inappropriate times with the end result that we feel miserable much of the time. And society stigmatizes that as character flaw, lack of faith in dog, what have you. Of course, the drug war has made any rational discussion of this impossible. Interestingly, psychiatry is almost entirely nowadays, drug alchemy. Little analysis or talk therapy is done anymore because they found that patients get better results with prescriptions. I personally believe that is essentially what drug abuse is. An attempt to self-medicate. Why should that be criminal? Medical maybe, but not criminal. Just rambling. This is "Don't Ask Rambli", isn't it?

I did go to a gym and lift weights 3 times a week for 3 years. Then Sue broke her knee...... Been meaning to go back, just haven't gotten around to it. Didn't sleep well then either, I need my stocks to quit killing themselves.
